NEWBURGH – The Newburgh Farmers’ Market season is open every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the outdoor park at the Safe Harbors Greene at 95-107 Broadway in Newburgh.
Its mission is to feed and engage the Newburgh community, support local farms and businesses, and create a more just food system.
The market will be open through November 21.
As the market expands, they plan to add more agricultural products including meat, maple syrup, beverages and body products.
Access to fresh, healthy food is one of the core tenets of Common Ground Farm’s food justice mission, and the Newburgh Farmers’ Market will enable greater food access through food benefit programs at the market.
All market vendors accept SNAP/EBT, FMNP, WIC and Fresh Connect Checks for eligible products, and recipients of those food benefits are encouraged to stop by and talk to the market manager about how to use their benefits at the market.
The market will donate unsold produce in collaboration with the Newburgh Urban Farm and Food Initiative to Newburgh-based food pantries and soup kitchens.
In 2019, the market donated 1,928 pounds of fresh, local produce through this effort.
